New Rangers boss Russell Martin's chances of league success and beating Celtic rated as bookies reveal odds
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RUSSELL MARTIN stopped short of promising to win trophies in his first season as Rangers boss. But he is adamant he has the tools to ensure the Light Blues WILL be seriously challenging Celtic when it comes to silverware - and one bookie tends to agree. 1 Russell Martin will be the new man in the Rangers dugout next season Credit: Willie Vass Martin was confirmed as the new Rangers head coach this morning and unveiled at a press conference with sporting director Kevin Thelwell and chief executive Patrick Stewart by his side. Thelwell described Martin as the perfect appointment and has already outlined the five key things that made him the outstanding candidate for the Gers hierarchy. Martin told the media at his introductory press conference that he believes he CAN turn Rangers into trophy winners this season. It's just a question of whether he will or not, given the Hoops' dominance in domestic competitions this season. William Hill have attempted to answer that question by providing odds on Rangers winning the league in Martin's first season. The bookmaker has also priced up how likely the 39-year-old is to win all four league games against Celtic in the coming year. They also rated Gers' chances of going unbeaten at home, going unbeaten in the league as a whole and how likely they are to score in all 38 Premiership games. Celtic remain the favourites to win the title at 4/11 ON. But Rangers are now as short as 2/1 to claim the trophy. William Hill clearly fancy Martin's ability to make Rangers a force at home again, a far cry from their poor form at Ibrox under Barry Ferguson and latterly under Philippe Clement. Rangers fans react as 49ers takeover completed With that in mind they've gone as short as 7/3 for the Ibrox side to not lose a game at home next season. Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: 'Following Russell Martin's appointment as the new Rangers boss, we go 7/4 that he makes Ibrox a fortress next season and goes unbeaten at home in the league. 'We've priced up some specials for the Scotsman's first season in charge, including 7/2 about him to win both home league games against Celtic – which would surely get the fans on his side. 'The Gers are 2/1 to win the league, with Celtic our current favourites at 4/11. The two will face off four times in the league this season and a clean sweep for Rangers is 40/1." Rangers 2025/26 #YourOdds (William Hill) Rangers to win the league 2/1 Rangers to go unbeaten in all 19 home league games 7/4 Rangers to win both home league games versus Celtic 7/2 Rangers to score at least one goal in each of their 38 Scottish Premiership games 9/2 Rangers to remain unbeaten in All four league games versus Celtic 5/1 Rangers to win all 19 Scottish Premiership home games 20/1 Rangers to go unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership 25/1 Rangers to win all 4 league games versus Celtic 40/1 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

I have a lot to prove. My whole career has been based on proving people wrong."Some names in football management are a bit more exciting than others, but I feel after five-and-a-half years of being a manger, coach and leader, I love doing it. I'm going to be all in with my energy.""Ultimately I just want to win. If I'm winning, I'm sure [the fans] will be happy."The 39-year-old, who led Southampton to Premier League promotion last year but was sacked by December after just one win in 16 games, wants to give the Rangers fans "a team they identify with".Martin concedes he has not been the initial "number one choice" with the supporters at any club he has managed, but he is hoping to forge a "real connection" with the demanding fanbase in order to that, however, the ex-Scotland centre-back knows he needs to show them instant success."To the fans, I have to win," Martin added.
